ZATARA Report post Posted June 12, 2017 Got a nice set of Cuda brand pliers, diagonal cutters, and braid cutter as a gift from my wife for fishing. Decided to make a nice sheath for the set, and I got way too into the project. First time with this type of project, had a great time and didn't encounter many obstacles during the build. I prefer a belt clip to the more traditional loop style. I also used a tri-weave stamp along with a few other basic stamps to decorate. All stainless hardware. Let me know what you think.

ZATARA Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks for the kind words, I can't wait to get out on the water and see how it holds up to the elements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basically Bob Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Looks great. Neat and tidy & it looks like a good design. What did you use for a finish? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamespio Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Love the idea and the leather work. Couple of practical points. Is there any risk of those falling out when you bend down, for instance leaning over the side of a boat to lift a fish? If so, straps with snaps would fit well with the design you've created. Second, if it were me, I'd put the micro scissors on a zinger/retractor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eco flow water stain and satin sheen finish. Followed that up with a heat applied coat of snoproof weather guard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used the pouch twice on the water so far and have not had a problem. I have made two addition bags since and I slimmed up the design, and made the pocket a bit deeper to help provide more of a friction fit. I also was thinking about a retractor, but all of them that I have used so far don't last in the salt water. When I finds heavy duty model I will probably switch it out. thanks for the feedback Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(seriously...thats a beautifully crafted piece you made) Yea kind of a bad place to live for a fisherman. I do most of my fishing out of Long Beach. About a 2.5 hour drive each way if I plan correctly and beat the traffic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motocouture Report post Posted June 24, 2017 North East Scuba Supply (online, with physical shop in Norristown, Philly) might have some decent retractors used for dive gear that'll stand up to the salt water. They also stock a great range of assorted stainless steel hardware at very reasonable prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
